| description | The renewal of the archaeological excavations of Timacum Minus in 2019
initiated extensive analyses and an additional interpretation of the results
of previous excavations of its buildings. One of the buildings outside the
fortification has attracted special attention, because of both its
constructive solutions and its dimensions. Although the archaeological
research of “the building with a hypocaust” has never been completed, there
are enough discovered segments that indicate the applied building techniques
and constructions. In addition to under-floor and wall heating systems, this
building had vaults built of terracotta tubes. The rarely discovered and
insufficiently documented examples of this type of vaulted structure in
Roman architecture in south-eastern Europe necessitate a deeper analysis of
their remains in Timacum Minus, with the aim of obtaining relevant
information important not only for the reconstruction of the construction
process and appearance of “the building with a hypocaust”, but also for
future architectural analyses of Roman buildings in the territory of Serbia
and in the surrounding region. |
